Sas raid on msi k9a2 Platinum

[freshfresh]

Built this system with these specs
Here are my specs:
Cpu: amd athlon 6400 windsor
M/b: k9a2 platinum
Ram: corsair xms2 dhx 4gb (2 x 2gb) 240-pin ddr2 sdram ddr2 800 (pc26400)
Video card: msi geforce 8600 gts ddr3 512mb
Psu: corsair cmpsu-650tx 650w atx12v / eps12v sli ready crossfire ready 80 plus certified active pfc power supply
Os: vista 64 bit ultimate:
Case: raidmax smilodon atx-612wb530p black 1.0mm secc steel atx mid tower foldout mb

Well i want to use four fujitsu limited 73gb 10k md:mbb2073rc sas harddrives. My concern is an affordable raid card and configuration.
Thanks for your time community
